is the mean furnace temperature in degrees Celsius (°C). NOTE Further details relating to the practical application of this curve and other test parameters, e.g. tolerances, are given in EN 1363-1. 4.3 The slow heating curve (smouldering fire) The smouldering fire test shall only be used if it is expected that the fire resistance performance of the element may be reduced by exposure to temperatures associated with the growth stage of a fire. It is, therefore, particularly relevant to elements whose performance may be dependent upon high heating rates below approximately 500 °C (as provided during the standard temperature/time curve) for achievement of their classifications (i.e. mainly reactive or intumescent products). The slow heating curve is given by the following relationship: for 0 < t

(3) where t
is the time from start of test in minutes (min); T
is the mean furnace temperature in degrees Celsius (°C). NOTE Further details relating to the practical application of this curve, and other test parameters e.g. tolerances, are given in EN 1363-2. 4.4 The ‘semi-natural’ fire During the ‘semi-natural’ fire test the temperature of the fire gases adjacent to the soffit of the ceiling shall reach 1 000 °C within 10 min to 20 min of the start of the test. Because of the difficulties in achieving the necessary thermal attack in a conventional furnace, the attack shall be provided by fire from wooden cribs made from softwood. NOTE 1 The ‘semi-natural’ fire is a fire which produces direct flame impingement with a high convective heat transfer content which is not realised in furnace tests using the standard temperature/time curve. The term ‘semi-natural’ fire corresponds to the single burning item exposure required for ceilings in 4.3.1.3.4 (a) of the Interpretative Document 2 (not to be confused with the “single burning item” test for reaction to fire). It is relevant only for lightweight suspended horizontal protective membranes having a low thermal inertia.

NOTE Further details relating to the practical application of this curve, and other test parameters e.g. tolerances, are given in EN 1363-2. 4.6 Constant temperature attack In addition to the heating regimes given above, the evaluation of some elements shall be made using a notional constant value of temperature. The specified temperature depends upon the type of element. The rate at which this temperature is achieved is specified in each relevant test standard. The following temperatures shall be used for the elements indicated: — 20 °C for evaluating the leakage rate of smoke control doors at ambient temperature; — 200 °C for evaluating the leakage rate of medium temperature smoke control doors; — 500 °C for evaluating the fire performance of raised floors; — 1 000 °C for evaluating soot fire resistance of chimneys and chimney related products. 5 Resistance to fire performance characteristics 5.1 General ID2 requires the assessment of the characteristic loadbearing capacity and/or integrity and/or insulation. Further optional characteristics are also specified by ID2, namely radiation, mechanical aspects, self-closing ability and smoke leakage. The need to classify based on these optional characteristics is dependent on national regulations and may be specified under certain conditions for certain elements. This clause provides the necessary details of each of the above characteristics. Where a characteristic may have more than one different definition or type of performance, later clauses identify which specific definition applies to which element. 5.2 Performance characteristics 5.2.1 R - Loadbearing capacity Loadbearing capacity R is the ability of the element of construction to withstand fire exposure under specified mechanical actions, on one or more faces, for a period of time, without any loss of structural stability.
